Good Afternoon!

10/02/2026

We started this week with a simple question: What is changing? And look where that question took us.

We noticed the season.
We noticed the body.
We explored nutritive as an herbal action.
We revisited Nettle.
And we learned one way to prepare it.
..But there's one more lesson. We don't have to wait until something is wrong to begin paying attention. Stewardship is proactive. It's noticing the season. Noticing the body. Learning what we can. Making thoughtful choices. Knowing when an herb is appropriate and when it isn't.

That's why I don't want you to walk away from this week thinking: "I need to drink Nettle because it's fall."
😂 Nope. I want you to walk away thinking: "I know how to observe before I respond." That's the skill. The herb is the tool. You are the steward.

💚 Stewardship Question:
What is one thing your body has been communicating lately that you can respond to with greater intention?

Let's Make a Nourishing Nettle Infusion

We've identified our herb.
We've identified the herbal action.
Now let's talk preparation.

One traditional way to work with dried nettle leaf is as an infusion. An infusion is generally used for softer plant materials such as leaves and flowers.

For a simple nettle infusion, you can:
*Place a tsp per 8oz of dried nettle leaf in a heat-safe container.
*Pour freshly boiled water over the herb.
*Cover it while it steeps.
*Allow it to steep for at least 4 hours.
*Strain before drinking.

You can adjust the amount of herb you use when you learn the herb and see how your body responds.

Consider your individual circumstances and any medications or health conditions before using herbs regularly. That's part of herbal stewardship too.

💚 Preparation Literacy Question:
Why do you think understanding how to prepare an herb matters just as much as knowing the herb itself?

This is another piece of what we explore inside the Herbal Intensive: The plant, the action, the preparation, and the person all matter.

Remember Nettle?

We met her during our first month together. Now we're going to look at her differently.

Nettle, Urtica dioica is often described in herbalism as a nutritive herb and that's exactly why I wanted to bring her back for our fall transition.

When we're thinking about seasonal change, nourishment becomes an important conversation. Nourishment isn't just about eating when we're hungry.
It's about asking: What am I consistently giving my body?

Nettle has a long history of use as a food and herbal preparation and contains a variety of vitamins and minerals but here's the lesson I really want you to remember: Knowing that an herb is "nutritive" doesn't mean you automatically need it.

First, we read the season.
Then we read the body.
Then we identify the herbal action we're interested in.
Then we study the plant.

That's a very different approach from: "I heard nettle is good for..." We're learning to think.

🌿 Herbal Literacy Question:
What do you remember learning about Nettle the first time we met her? Has your understanding changed now that we're looking at her through the lens of fall?

Your Body Is Part of the Season

Yesterday, we started with the environment. Today, let's bring our attention inward.

Your body doesn't exist separately from the world around you. Changes in light, temperature, activity, sleep, food, and routine can all change the way you experience your day.

Maybe you're feeling more tired.
Maybe your appetite is different.
Maybe you're moving less.
Maybe your schedule has become more demanding.
Maybe you're simply noticing that you don't feel quite the same as you did a few weeks ago.

None of these observations automatically mean something is wrong. They're invitations to pay attention. This is where body literacy begins.

Before reaching for an herb, ask: What is my body communicating?

Then ask: What might my body need more of during this transition?

Sometimes the answer isn't another product. It may be sleep, food, water, movement, sunlight, rest, connection and sometimes, herbs can become one part of that support.

🌿 Herbal Action: Nutritive
A nutritive herb is traditionally understood as a plant that provides nutrients or is used as a nourishing food-like herbal preparation.

This is different from reaching for an herb because you have a specific symptom. We're thinking about nourishment and support.

💚 Body Literacy Question:
When your routine changes, what does your body usually ask for first? More rest, more food, more movement, more quiet, or something else?

Inside the Herbal Intensive, we go deeper into herbal actions because learning the action helps us understand why we're considering a particular plant in the first place.

Fall is more than a date on the calendar.

Your environment is beginning to change. The days gradually become shorter. The light changes. Temperatures begin to shift. Your routines may begin to shift too and because we are part of creation, our bodies experience seasonal change right alongside the world around us. This doesn't mean everyone will feel the transition in the same way but it does invite us to pay attention.

You may notice changes in:
*your energy
*your sleep
*your appetite
*your mood
*your activity level
*your time outdoors

The goal isn't to assume that every change means something is wrong. The goal is simply to notice.

Before we ask - “What do I need to fix?”
Let's ask - “What is changing?”

This fall, Tea with Purpose is slowing down to read the season because preparation begins with observation.

💚 Seasonal Literacy Question: What is the first change you notice in yourself when summer begins transitioning into fall?

🌿 Deeper Learning Invitation
This month, we're going deeper into the connection between seasonal changes and the body over at the Roots & Revelations Journal on Substack. If you're ready to understand more about what happens inside the body as the seasons change, come learn with me there. Link in bio

Calendula is often associated with restoration in traditional herbalism and that word makes me think about something we don't like to hear: Restoration takes time.

We live in a culture that wants immediate results but creation doesn't operate that way.

Seeds take time.
Bodies take time.
Relationships take time.
Learning takes time.

Healing and restoration often require patience, attention, and consistent care.

Teas with Purpose isn't about promising instant transformation. We're about learning how to become a faithful steward of the process.

💚Stewardship Question:
Where in your life are you being invited to practice patience instead of demanding immediate results?

Calendula: Tea or Oil?

One plant can be prepared in different ways depending on the purpose.

Calendula can be enjoyed as an herbal infusion and calendula flowers are also commonly used in infused oils for topical preparations.

The preparation matters.
*What are we trying to accomplish?
*What part of the plant are we using?
*What method makes sense?

That's herbal literacy.

💚Kitchen Wisdom Question:
What factors should we consider before deciding how to prepare an herb?

What Does "Vulnerary" Mean?

Calendula is traditionally described by herbalists as a vulnerary herb.

A vulnerary is an herb traditionally used to support the care of minor wounds and damaged tissue.

You'll also hear calendula described as soothing and supportive in topical herbal preparations but remember our rule: An herbal action tells us how herbalists understand a plant. It doesn't mean the herb is a cure-all. That's why we learn the language instead of memorizing promises.

💚Herbal Literacy Question:
Why do you think learning an herb's action is more useful than memorizing a list of things someone says it can "cure"?
